Pups Sanctuary

Pups Sanctuary is a cozy, home-based space Veronika and George created together with one goal: to give every pup a safe, comfortable, and genuinely home like experience while their family is away We bring 15 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, needs and routines. We work as a team, which means your pup has two people looking out for them and providing plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, cuddles, and supervision throughout their stay We share our home with Brando, our friendly 10-year old Morkie (Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier mix), who is gentle with other dogs and enjoys having canine visitors around Our home is filled with plants 🌱, cozy couches, soft blankets, sunny spots to lounge, and plenty of comfortable spaces where pups can relax and settle in. We also have separation gates and multiple areas throughout the home so we can give dogs their own space whenever needed Because we work from home, our pups are rarely left alone for long periods. They can enjoy regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, affection, and plenty of opportunities to simply hang out with us and feel like part of the family At Pups Sanctuary, we believe great care starts with understanding each dog as an individual. We’re happy to follow your pup’s normal feeding schedule, walking routine, sleeping preferences, crate routine, medications, and any special instructions that help them feel secure Whether your dog loves long walks, play sessions, belly rubs, following us from room to room, lounging on the couch, or finding a quiet cozy corner for a nap, we adjust our care to their personality and routine Drop-Off & Pick-Up Times: Keeping our home calm and giving every pup a comfortable experience is very important to us. Drop-offs begin at 8:00 AM If you need an earlier drop-off, we ask that your pup stay with us the night before and arrive before 9:00 PM We generally do not accept drop offs or pick ups after 9:00 PM. We understand travel plans can change, and we may occasionally be able to make an exception. Whenever possible, though, we prefer for your pup to enjoy an extra night with us and be picked up the following morning. This helps us avoid late night arrivals or departures disrupting pups who are already relaxed and settled in for the evening Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always our priority. We want Pups Sanctuary to feel less like boarding and more like a warm, peaceful home away from home We look forward to welcoming you and your pup to Pups Sanctuary! 🐾🌱

Veronika was great! She was very communicative and sent the cutest pics of my sweet Bo. Highly recommend her to help out with your pup’s care!

Veronika was absolutely wonderful with Princess! She was so gentle, sweet, and patient with her, and asked all the right questions to make sure Princess was comfortable and well cared for. I can’t wait to continue building a relationship with Veronika and have her become someone Princess knows and trusts! 💕🐾

Veronika took my pups on with less than twenty four hours' notice. She was communicative and professional and my dogs are happy and content after walking with her – I would definitely book again!

It was lovely meeting Veronika, she’s so kind and detail-oriented. She even brought such a precious gift that she made and it really left an impact! She’s so patient with my cat and so glad we were able to work together. I 100% recommend working with her. Her passion and care for animals shines bright!🤍🐾

Veronika did an amazing job caring for our dog and making sure he was safe. She sent plenty of photos and updates to make us feel comfortable. We could tell she knew what she was doing and has been the best sitter we have found in the Jersey city area yet. Her small dog was also really well behaved and friendly so it was a bonus for our dog to have a friend while we were away. Thank you so much!

Veronika got along great with my pup, and her relaxed demeanor helped keep my pup calm. After our meet and greet I'm definitely looking forward to continued walks and becoming a regular. 10/10, I recommend.

I will ask for their feeding and potty routine, any allergies or medication instructions and anything specific I need to know about them. On top of it I would like to know how they feel about other dogs, and their behaviors to cover the basis
